When a famous apologist dismisses the Bible…

William Lane Craig is such an acclaimed apologist that many a conservative Christian has heard him praised. But when it comes to Craig’s thoughts on the opening chapters of Genesis, Donall and Conall have some problems with him.

Why wokeness is a Christian heresy

“First… critical theory misunderstands who we are by assuming that the only relevant fact about us is where we fit within the various categories of oppression. We are the group we belong to, which serves a social role as either oppressor or oppressed. As such, this theory rejects any universals that unite humanity, including the image of God.

“Second, the understanding of sin, or what’s wrong with the human condition, is limited to oppression. In this view, oppressors are guilty and the oppressed are innocent.”

Push for mandatory abortion for pregnant minors highlights what’s going on behind the scenes

One mistake frequently made in the abortion battle is that we forget what the other side wants. If we were debating Nazis, we wouldn’t forget that they want to gas Jews. But when we discuss abortion, we regularly forget that the people we are talking to want babies murdered. We forget that the other side isn’t just wrong, but is evil. I don’t say that to foster hatred, or anger, but rather to highlight that this isn’t some polite debate between two parties looking to each score their points. This is a spiritual battle that needs a spiritual response. We need to speak not just logic, but preach the gospel. When a monstrous wrong is called a right, people shouldn’t get told to reconsider, but need to be called to repent.

And if you have any doubts about the spiritual aspect of this battle, then read this article, where the evil is even more unvarnished, with a British Columbia (what is it about BC?) philosophy professor pushing for mandatory abortion for pregnant minors.

Tim Challies: Go ahead, bring a knife to a gunfight

“You may wish you had the sword of compelling argument, the rapier of sharp and thrusting wit, or the spear of the perfect put-down. However, God may not have gifted you in any of these ways. Yet there is always something you can do, and there is always some weapon you can wield. Don’t sit around pining for what you don’t have, but resolve to use what you do have….”

End supply management – for the sake of Canadian consumers

Why do Christians want a free market rather than socialism?

Well, one good reason is, we know only God is omniscient, so the government simply doesn’t have the capacity to know how much of everything should be produced, and who should get how much, and for what price. Meanwhile, Canada’s supply management operates under just those presumptions. In the name of helping farmers, it limits what farmers can produce to deliberately drive up the price of their goods. And who pays that price?

“According to a Fraser Institute estimate, supply management adds roughly $375 a year to the average Canadian household’s grocery bill. Because lower-income families spend a much higher proportion of their income on food, the burden falls most heavily on them.”

Another solid biblical reason to oppose socialism? We are called to “Do unto others as you would want done to you” (Luke 6:31). If it doesn’t strike you as wrong that poor families are being forced to support farmers by being required to pay artificially higher prices, imagine if the same was happening to your own favorite goods: your car, your house, or your jeans. Have you thought about how helpful it would be for those goods’ producers if they were making more money off of your purchases? So why not get the government to restrict production there too, so that prices will rise? Wouldn’t such government intervention be good for every producer? So why not make it universal?

Because it would hurt consumers enormously.

And it would hurt producers too – anyone who had any inputs in their production process would be paying higher costs for everything, making their own goods less competitive on any international markets. It would hurt consumers and it would hurt productivity.

So why would do we think it a good idea for eggs and dairy?

A presuppositional rock song

This could make a good final exam for our Christian schools – to graduate you must be able to understand and apply what this rock song is talking about.
